JACK WANTS TO SET THINGS RIGHT ON THE ISLAND BUT IS MET WITH STRONG RESISTANCE BY THOSE CLOSE TO HIM, AND LOCKE ASSIGNS BEN A DIFFICULT TASK

Jack's decision to put a plan in action in order to set things right on the island is met with some strong resistance by those close to him, and Locke assigns Ben a difficult task, on the season finale of “Lost.”

I don't think so. Remember, for Daniel and the Losties, they are at their furthest point in their lives. They *can* die. Whatever happened, happened - happened for those people in the past. So, if Ben didn't die in 1977, then he can't be killed.

It wasn't the Losties I was referring to, but rather Daniel appearing to be trying to talk Dr. Chang into changing his actions and to get people to evacuate the island. That seems to go against the theory of "whatever happened, happened."
